I feel so much better now that I'm writing on a more regular basis. It's just very rewarding.

So talking about writing, I write much better - and easier - with music on, and for some reason I tend to latch onto a few songs that sort of convey the mood I want to give a story and then listen to them on repeat until I finish a story. It's usually instrumental, epic-y music, mostly from soundtracks. For Geometry, my last Doctor Who fic, I listened to The Other Side by Michael Nyman from the Gattaca soundtrack, just that song in a constant repeat. For that fic for The Borgias I was listening to the opening song, the opening song from The Tudors and Saving Josh from the Moonlight OST, all of them by Trevor Morris. Last year for that Doctor Who fic when Rory was still dead and gone from existance and stuff, I listened to Bat for Lashes in repeat, and I still think of Rory everytime I listen to Siren Song, especially on that last verse.

Right now, for X-men fic I'm still listening to The Other Side, and added The One Moment, also from the Gattaca soundtrack, Kanada's Death, Pt. 2 (Adagio In D Minor) from the Sunshine soundtrack and The Mummer's Dance from Loreena McKenitt. The latter would be fantastic for Merlin fic writing, by the way. But I think I just listened obsessively to The Fountain's soundtrack while I wrote Merlin stuff. That soundtrack gets played a lot in here, it's beautiful beyond words.

So, what do you guys listen to while writing (or drawing, or being creative, or something)? I find it to be fascinating stuff.

I'm really, really hoping tomorrow's Who episode is the Cybermen one, 'cause I SO don't want another Cyberman finale. That said, I'd rather not having any Cybermen eps at all, I can't decide if I'm more annoyed by them or Daleks, but c'est la vie.

Fic is a bit over 6000 words now. Woo hoo! Also, I re-watched The Eleventh Hour tonight, and it's still such a lovely episode, if you sort of handwave the flimsy plot. But the last 20 minutes of it, oh. It has such a sense of wonder, of endless possibility. And that's what I love about Doctor Who. ♥

I'm writing fic!! After a year and a half of not doing so! Yaaay! :D

So far it already features Amy/Rory porn, lol.

HI GUYS I'M BACK. Back from where? you might be asking yourselves, and the answer is: from the endless black pits of HELL my homework and final projects were, and from those sad, sad days when my internet decided to curl up and die. THAT'S WHERE.

After some of the most stressful, tiring, long, horrid days since I started college, SCHOOL IS FINALLY OVER. HELL YEAH. Well, I still have to track down a teacher to hand in my final project, but STILL. The big Greenpeace campaign from Design class is OVER OH THANK FUCK and I actually crashed at like, 9pm yesterday, I was that tired, and slept for about 12 hours. And now I ACHE all over from all that work with wood for the past week and I have a cold but hey, at least I'm free. YEAH.

There shall be fic in a moment which I would have wanted to post yesterday but RE: my internet: DEAD DEAD DEAD. When I write a scene that I sort of FORGOT to write that is. UM. Anyway, all in the ~build up~ for the LEGENDARY Merlin finale yesssss. ER.

And now I'm getting more DMZ because I started reading it while I was sad and internetless and holy shit but it is ridiculously good and I shall rec it more extensively later. Yeah.

Merlin fic is 2800 words right now, and it's still missing a couple thousand. Yay me. :3 AND it's finally all typed, since I've been neglecting to do so all week long, lol.

NEW MERLIN TOMORROW, BY THE WAY, YAAAAAY. If anything could make me happy right now, it is the gay show of gay. :DDD

Today was INSANNNNE. Me and teh teammates were printing and/or giving the finishing touches to our Greenpeace campaign since 9 am to 3:30pm. IT WAS PAINFUL. And horribly stressing. And we messed up the imposition in the final document and the, uh, cornisas (wonder how's it called in English...) ended up on the wrong sides of the page. WOE. BUT the assignment is ALMOST over, so I can at least breathe easier.

I've been ~acquiring~ Pushing Daisies all evening long in social service, 'cause when I got home my brother was bitching that there'd been no internet since morning. As he doesn't have anything else whatsoever to do, he's in crisis. Bad thing is, I only got half of PD, because the internet in here is also running quite slow. BOO.

AND NOW I SHALL GO AND EAT TACOS BECAUSE I ~DESERVE~ THEM, HONESTLY.

I've FINALLY finished a short story I've been working on for like, a MONTH. It's only 2300 words long, what the hell, self? I like it, though. So there's that. That's something very me - whenever I have a sort of artistic phase, I'll and draw and paint and be crafty and yet hardly write al all, like now, and then, whenever I write write write like crazy, I can't draw for shit. OH, ALE. THOU ART SO WEIRD.

I'm now all caught up on Captain America. OH, BUCKY. YAY NATASHA! GO SHARON! Also, how much I loved that Tony became sort of a regular character after Steve's death? And that he kept on having IMAGINARY CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM, LOL LOL, mostly about how everything sucks now that his true love best friend is gone. HEE.

I'm behind on SPN, Heroes, Gossip Girl and Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and yet I CARE NOT and will go and watch Merlin. WEEE. For the slash is rather amazing, yes. And the show is also a bit rubbish, yes yes, but so much fun. XD

Two of my cousins ended up in the hospital in the past three days with some kind of weird (and as of yet undiscovered) stomach bug, one after the other one - and they're not even siblings. Now I have the weirdest stomache and man, but I hope I didn't get it from them. o_O They're fine now, thankfully - they were mostly dehidrated, with all of that, er, fluid expulsion, if you'll call it that, lol. It's so weird that they got the same thing at the same time, though... They've just come back from a cruise around northern Europe (yes, that is a bit of envy you can hear in my metaphorical voice, UM UM), so maybe it was that, but if I have it too (although let's hope not as bad), then dude, but what the hell? *scratches head*

I must admit I haven't started reading Breaking Dawn yet. I could desperately use a laugh, but apparently this is just craptastic sooooooo. I'll start reading in a while, and mocking soon after, probably, haha.

But later, because I reaaaally have to keep on writing my apocalyptothon fic. It's almost 3000 words right now, and I haven't even reached the apocalypse. *__*

Well, I'm still stealing wireless from my neighbors, but it comes and goes every, oh, three point five seconds and it is slow as fuck. ALSO, it goes away at 10pm sharp. Dude, wtf. I know I shouldn't complain, but... AAAH, I WANT TO SEE LAST SATURDAY'S DOCTOR WHO. So much. ;____; And, of course, I can't, you know, get it with this soddy connection.

Bah. Anyway, I'm not commenting much because it seriously takes ages to do so, but I'm, uh, lurking? Reading around, anyway. I haven't had the chance to finish not even ONE BigBang, mostly because on the rare ocassion I get, I'm reading Iron Man fic like crazy. Man, I'm loving this fandom. ♥

Speaking of which! I'm still writing that fic, it's 3500 words long - it's been going so slow because DAMN, but Tony's head space is scary. Writing from his POV is so damn hard, but at the same time so intriguing, you know, because beneath all that snark and confidence he's really, really messed up. AND THAT IS WHY I LOVE IRON MAN IN A NUTSHELL.

OH, and today was my last day of school of the semester. YESSSS. Well. It wasn't a proper last day (that would've been on Tuesday - we were supposed to go and paint the cliffs by my college in watercolor, but it was POURING, so it got cancelled, lol), I just had some errands to run and stuff to print, but STILL. Last day of school. So much glee. :D

I've been doing homework almost all day long as well today, but oddly enough I feel somewhat zen about it. Huh. Even if I still have a bit to go. Maybe it is because it involves using a lot of PEARS. They're so green and lovely and a bit wet because I dipped them in water before I took the photo for ~extra deliciousness~ and pears are just zen on themselves? Who knows.

I talked to Juanjo this morning - he sounded a bit better, but still quite messed up. Bah, life sucks so much sometimes.

I know this journal has been seriously lacking in the fannish departmen for a while now, but just think about this: Two more weeks and then it'll be TWO WONDERFUL MONTHS of scratching my belly and doing nothing. YESSSS. And THEN I'll spam you. :3 Anyway, I really feel like writing, too - Bones apocafic, and I finally figured out how to make that certain crossover work for my apocalyptothon entry AND I sort of want to write snarky Tony/Pepper or genfic or whatever from Iron Man because that's the fic I've been liking better as of lately and apparently all the cool kids are doing it anyway. lulz.

Aaaanyway, this interview with Dirty Pretty Things was absolutely lovely. It's been a while since we've gotten something other than pure lulz out of the boys, and now I have to say I'm all hyped up about the new album. It BETTER not suck, dear Carlos. Just saying.

Today was an incredibly frustrating day at school, made worst by the horrible heat and the fact that stupid little me decided to wear a long-sleeved shirt. I came back home moody and pissed at everything and pretty much annoyed at the world in general.

So I saw the two parter Season 3 finale of Buffy to cheer myself up. And it worked! Granted, now I have to start with homework, but I really needed a break. Plus, there's no way to be pissed with the shiny and Wesley as a stuck up ass, lol.

Weirdly enough, I've been reached by two (two!) people that want to translate my latest fic into Chinese. That is... both incredibly weird and incredibly flattering, lol. I can't wait to see how it looks, hee!

I also wrote a bit, yay. The Bones fic is nearly finished, and then I'll have to go and look up all those technical terms I've been forgoing so far, arrrgh. (aka a bazillion names for tiny tiny bones.)
